Gold and silver are traditional and functional safe
havens from inflation. When gold is over $500 and
silver over $9, as they have been for many weeks,
people are worrying about inflation.

Formerly libertarian Alan Greenspan, one of Ayn Rand's
inner circle, who previously wrote against fiat money
inflation and in support of gold as a worthy
alternative, has recently spoken about the higher
price of gold. He claims that it is worry over
terrorism that is causing the high price of gold.
Since he was paid $120,000 for speaking for one hour
and answering questions from the comfort of a New York
apartment from investment management professionals at
a conference in Japan (where his speech was carried
live in three dimensions using holographic
projectors(!)) it is unclear how ordinary people ought
to react to his comments. Given Greenspan's role in
creating the monetary inflation that is now wreaking
havoc with the economy, it is my view that he is not
trustworthy. He would, I think, likely say anything,
true or untrue, to serve his masters in the banking
cartel. Keep in mind that under the original
Thirteenth Amendment, Sir Alan Greenspan would be
politically exiled from the United States for the
crime of having accepted a knighthood from the Queen
of England.

His replacement killer at the Feral Reserveless System
(feral because it is wild and untamed, reserveless
because it is without meaningful reservesthe gold
claimed to be in USA Treasury possession is one ounce
for about every thirty-five thousand dollars in
current circulation, or less) Ben Bernanke once
remarked that to address the potential problem of
monetary deflation or a liquidity crisis, the Feral
Reserve would be willing to do anything, up to and
including printing money by the container load and
dropping it from helicopters over the major cities.
So, I like to call him "Helicopter Money" Bernanke.
To add to the growing body of evidence that Greenscam
and Bernanke cannot be trusted, the Fed under the
former chairman stopped publishing the Liquidity
measure "L" in 1998, and is now (March 2006) preparing
to discontinue publication of M3, one of the broadest
measures of how much money is in circulation. (A very
good essay on this topic is found here:
by Bud Conrad of International Speculator.)

Given that the Feral Reserveless System has preached
that transparency in economic matters is a good thing,
and has criticized other central banks around the
world for being less transparent, it is hypocritical
for the Fed to stop publishing figures about how much
money they are pushing into existence. So, should you
be worried? Yes, of course.

Commodity Price InflationLet's not be deceived. Inflation is real, it is
substantial, and it is here, now.

What is inflation? There are two things that the term
inflation is used to identify. One of these things is
monetary inflation, the actual growth in the supply of
money. Money is like everything else that has value.
Its value is determined in part by the demand for
money and in part by the supply. Supply and demand
charts indicate volume and price. In most cases, the
price of something determines the demand. So, people
want more widgets at $1 than they do at $10. Supply
and demand also tell you the same thing about dollars.
Dollars cost less at $10 per widget than they do at
$1 per widgetyou get ten dollars for one widget in
the former case.

Now, that sort of inversion is somewhat hard to think
about. You may be very comfortable saying "The price
of a widget is ten dollars," but you should be just as
clear that the same truth is expressed, "The price of
one dollar is a tenth of a widget."

So, what is monetary inflation? It is the increase in
the supply of money. Very simply, the supply of money
has grown enormously, and the estimates of its size
have been repeatedly revised upward. It doesn't grow
by itself, but is printed by the government or created
out of nothing by computer keystrokes at banks. A
cynical person, such as myself, would say that the
actual amount of money in circulation was known to be
larger, and the government didn't mention the change
until much later because they wanted to quiet fears of
inflation. The more the money supply increases, the
more dollars there are chasing the same amount of
goods and services. So, prices may rise as a result.

But, price rises don't always happen, they sometimes
lag monetary inflation by months or years, and they
may differ in magnitude by a great deal depending on
other conditions. Prices arise from the equilibrium
in supply and demand which the free market is set up
to seek. So, a given thing may have a higher or lower
price because of monetary inflation, or because the
supply has changed, or because the demand has changed.
Prices, then, reflect a lot of things in the economy.

The price of oil, for example, may rise dramatically
when President Bush declares war on Iraq, or rattles
his saber over Iran, or when the actual supply of oil
is affected by Hurricane Katrina, or when a lot
more demand for Summer travel in Sport Utility
Vehicles takes place. The price of oil may drop if
the supply increases, the demand decreases, rumors of
war dissipate, or the supply of money is reduced.

Inevitably, the government has placed itself in charge
of statistics about prices. Therefore, you should be
chary of their figures. It is now well known that the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) measurement of inflation
published by the government is a pack of lies. The
government arbitrarily swaps out one thing for another
from their "basket of goods" whether margarine or
butter are interchangeable or not. They may
arbitrarily assert that the price of computers is less
because more computing power is available for the same
amount of money. And, they sometimes make "hedonic
adjustments" which bear no sensible relationship to
reality.

Worse, the government babbles. It really ought to be
embarrassing to USA citizens. The government talks
about "core inflation" as distinct from inflation in
the prices of food and energy. Now, I don't know
about you, but I am quite willing to embrace core
inflation as a meaningful number when, and only when,
the government functionaries that promote it have gone
for an entire year without food or energy. If the
head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics is able to live
without food and without energy for one full year,
then "core inflation" would be cool with me. And, if
every person who works for the government attempts to
go without food or energy for a full year, I would not
mind a bit.

What the Government SaysSo, what does the government say about inflation?
Well, here's an excerpt from a recent press release:

The Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) decreased
0.4 percent in December, before seasonal
adjustment, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor
reported today. The December
level of 196.8 (1982-84=100) was 3.4 percent
higher than in December 2004.
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
(CPI-U) decreased
0.4 percent in December, before seasonal
adjustment, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor
reported today. The December
level of 196.8 (1982-84=100) was 3.4 percent
higher than in December 2004.

Now, does that sound like babbling to you? It does to
me. And that's their lead paragraph, which is
supposed to give you the best clearest understanding
of what the press release is about. Read their full
release here:
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm

But, some things stand out. First of all, they admit
that prices now are nearly twice what they were in
1982-1984. That's interesting, because December 2005
was 22 years after the middle of that period. So,
according to the government, prices have increased an
average of 4.4% per year.

Now, what does it mean when they say that prices have
decreased 0.4% in December before seasonal adjustment?
To me, it doesn't mean a thing. It means that they
have some batch of data they would be willing to show
you that says that prices are lower. But, they also
have an urge to apply some seasonal adjustment to
further make a mockery of their claims. And, in case
you aren't confused enough, they also tell you that
prices are 3.4% higher than they were a year ago.
But, somehow, prices decreased? It makes no sense,
and I contend it is intended to make no sense.

Keep in mind that I'm educated in economics and have
studied these issues in considerable depth. I studied
economics at an Ivy League university and at an
exclusive private graduate school in Texas. These are
simply facts about me, not things I'm especially proud
of (given the living conditions one has to endure at
either school I attended, there's nothing prideful
about admitting these things). On both government
standardized tests (Iowa Basic Skills) and privately
standardized tests (Stanford-Binet, Scholastic
Aptitude, National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test)
my scores have shown up some standard deviations above
the meanas high as the top one-tenth of one
percentile in intelligence nationwide. And I don't
have a clue what the government is saying about their
consumer price index. I suggest that my inability to
understand them is not a deficit in my intelligence,
education, training, background, or work experience,
but a deliberate lack of clarity on their part.

So, why would they lie? Well, they have a problem.
They've indexed everything. The government has
indexed income taxes, so if you are making more money
this year than last, but the consumer price index has
also risen, you get a bigger personal tax deduction
and a bigger exemption. You can see those things
change from one year to the next on your tax forms if
you like. The government has also indexed benefits
with "cost of living adjustments." Which means that
the cost of screwing the taxpayers and the cost of
failing to provide social welfare through confiscatory
taxation and mandatory redistribution of wealth
changes every year. By how much? By whatever amount
the government says inflation is.

Given that they get less of your hard-earned money in
taxes and have to pay out more of your hard-earned
money in benefits if inflation is high, the government
is motivated to assert that inflation is low. Once
you understand that they don't want to tell you how
much inflation is, you'll understand why they issue
such confusing press releases. Really, they don't
want you to know how bad inflation is, and they don't
want to tell you anything in clear, easily understood
language. For one thing, clever people like me would
be able to challenge their assertions if we could
parse their comments into easily understood language.
Given the financial motives for the government to lie,
you should add their figures on inflation to your list
of things said by people in government which you don't
believe. If your list is like mine, that list is
very, very long.

Real PricesSo, I compiled a few prices myself, because, well, I'm
curious. And, you know, cynical about the
government's claims. And, by the way, motivated to
find things out for myself. I have no great insight
into prices of the things the government is measuring
in its "consumer price index," any more than I
understand the words in their press releases. But, I
do follow some commodities for the newsletter I write,
and for the sake of some businesses I help run. So,
here are some cold, hard, sad facts.

These prices were taken from the first trading day in
July 2005 and the first trading day in January 2006.
If I've erred, please feel free to write in with
corrections, as I am fallible and eager to be
corrected. I used figures from six months apart, and
then doubled the rate of price increase to get an
annual rate. Here's what I've got:

Gold was $432.60 per ounce in early July 2005 and
$530 in early January 2006. This commodity rose in
price by $97.40 in six months, which represents 45% price
inflation per annum.

Silver rose from $7.02/oz to $9.04 in the same
period, a price rising at the rate of 58% per year.

Palladium from $180.50/oz to $265, a rate of
increase of 94% per year.

Rhodium rose from $1899.53 per ounce to $2950; or
111% per year.

Copper rose from $1.66 per pound to $2.27 per
pound; or 73% per year.

Zinc rose from $0.54 to $0.86 per pound; 119% per
year.

Aluminium rose from $0.76 to $1.02 per pound; 68%
per year.

Lead rose from $0.39 to $0.495 per pound; 54% per
year.

Uranium rose from $29 per pound to $36.50 per
pound; 52% inflation.

The bad news is that for these nine commodities,
prices rose an average rate of 75% per year for the
six months ending at the beginning of January 2006.
Now, some of those prices continued to risegold was
$553 earlier today (20 February 2006) and has been
higher. So, feel free to do your own analysis. For
information on prices, I like Kitco.com and
KitcoMetals.com and UxC.com but feel free to do your
own research.

Now, is it all bad? Well, the price of nickel dropped
from $6.50 to $6 over that same period, a decrease of
about 15% per year. Oil rose from $58.70 to $65.51
per barrel (West Texas Intermediate, as I recall) so
that's "only" 23% per year. But, of course, oil was
already up since late 2001 from $18 per barrel to more
than $58 per barrel, or around 63% per year for the
3.5 years ended 1 July 2005. So, it is great that the
rate of increase has moderated from a much higher
rate.

The same is true of nickel, which was $2/pound in late
2001 and over $7.50 per pound about June 2005. In
other words, the price of nickel had been rising at a
rate of nearly 79% per year. So, hurray, the price
dropped a bit. It was $6.69 earlier today, so it
isn't clear that price relief is going to last.

What are these commodities? Well, some of them are in
things you use every day. Copper is used widely in
the generation and transmission of power and in
electronics. Silver is used pretty widely in some
electronics components and in old-style photography.
It has many other uses. Zinc, aluminium, and lead are
base metals that show up in all kinds of applications
like galvanized steel, beer cans, and automobile
wheel-balancing. Palladium is used in catalytic
converters as a substitute for platinum, and is also
featured in some of those weird "cold fusion" energy
experiments. Rhodium is a specialty metal, used in
some high tech applications. Uranium is a fuel used
in nuclear reactors, and is also popular in making
bombs. Nickel is used in making vegetable oil into a
poison by partially hydrogenating it, but because
"poison" doesn't sell as well, the makers call it
"margarine." Gold is money and so is silver, and
these are always key indicators of monetary inflation
because people in the markets have more sense than
people in governments.

What Should You Do?You may be thinking that 75% per year is pretty steep
inflation. Including oil and nickel, along with
platinum (up "only" 23% in the six months from July
2005 to January 2006, but after substantial increases
for several years) the average commodity price
increase runs about 59% per year for twelve
commodities. That's still pretty steep inflation,
right?

So, how can the government claim that prices dropped
in December or that prices rose from December 2004 to
December 2005 by something like 3.4%? Well, don't
worry about what the government saysthey aren't
going to tell you the truth, and if they do tell you
something about the truth it won't be easy to
understand what they say. When was anything the
government said all that big a deal to your daily
choices?

If you believe that inflation is a real threat to your
prosperity, you should buy gold and silver. In
inflationary periods, such as 1964 to 1980, the prices
of gold and silver rise dramatically. Keep in mind
that in 1964, the price of gold was set by the
government at $35 per ounce. In January 1980, the
intra-day price for the April 1980 future's contract
reached $895 per ouncein 1980 dollars. The price
of silver was also set by the government in 1964 at
371.25 grains of silver to the dollar.

What? Yes, that was actually the price set in the
1792 Mint Act. Congress decreed that a dollar was
371.25 grains of silver, or about one twentieth of an
ounce of gold, or so many penny weights of copper.
Okay. So, what's a grain of silver? Well, there are
480 grains in a troy ounce. Which means that the
dollar was worth more than an ounce of silver in 1964.
And it took about $50 to buy an ounce of silver in
January 1980.

You would have done much better holding silver from
1964 to 1980 than holding dollars, or gold. Silver
and gold are both good solid inflation hedges. And
with some commodities running over 100% price
increases per year, you should agree that there is
inflation, and it is serious, today.

How can you buy gold or silver quickly and easily? I
like e-gold, GoldMoney, and other digital currencies
backed by gold and silver such as Pecunix and 1MDC.
You can learn more about these digital gold currencies
at my web site, Vertoro.com.

Or you can buy coins or bullion bars for physical
delivery. One of the reasons gold is money is because
it has all the useful properties that Aristotle
identified with money thousands of years ago.

Gold is durable, divisible, consistent, convenient,
and value in itself, and has been for thousands of
years. My friend Doug Casey who writes several
investor newsletters (see his site at
CaseyResearch.com)
spoke at the Vancouver Resource
Stock convention in January 2006 and said that gold is
durable, unlike wheat which rots. It is divisible
into tiny units (even more so when you use computers
to create digital warehouse receipts) unlike works of
fine art. Gold is consistent year after year, unlike
real estate. (According to G. Edward Griffin, you
could buy a toga, sash, and sandals for an ounce of
gold in the time of Caesar Augustus two thousand years
ago; you could buy a man's suit, belt, and shoes for
an ounce of gold in 1860, 1910, 1940, and today; so
the purchasing power has remained remarkably
consistent.) Gold is convenient or monetarily dense
compared to, say, lead. And gold is value in itself
compared to paper.

Ludwig von Mises once quipped that only the government
can take something useful like paper and, by applying
ink, make it totally worthless. Nobel laureate F.A.
Hayek once noted that if we do not find ways to take
the issue power of money away from government, their
inflation is going to force us into a command economywhich
will destroy civilization. Both men were
distinguished economists who preferred free markets to
coerced ones.

What else might you do? Well, if you believe that the
price increases in commodities are secular rather than
temporary, as investment geniuses like Clyde Harrison,
Jim Rogers, Doug Casey, Rick Rule, Adrian Day, and
Warren Buffet seem to think, you may want to go
further.

In periods when the price of commodities are low,
mining company stocks trade at a discount to the value
of the minerals they have in the ground. But, as
commodity prices rise, their stocks come eventually to
trade at a premium. This phenomenon has been observed
over and over again, not only by economists but by
wealthy investors and speculators. Some of the stocks
I've mentioned in my Indomitus Report
(indomitus.net) have increased dramatically in price
since I first suggested they would be good values.
For example, Tan Range was trading at one dollar
Canadian per share when I first mentioned it in 2005,
and is now trading at $7.16 per share.

Another company that I've looked at very closely is
Lumina Resources (LUR on the Toronto exchange). By
very careful and thoroughly regulated measurements,
they have measured and indicated resources including
billions of pounds of copper and over ten million
ounces of gold in the ground right now. These are not
estimated or inferred or "probable" resources but
measured and indicated by very conservative methods
that comply with a Canadian regulation called 43-101.
In other words, some very well trained geologists have
staked their professional reputations on these
estimates, which are based on actual drilling of
sample cores through the ore bodies involved. Based
on those numbers, I believe the resources they own, in
the ground, at today's prices, are worth in excess of
$600 per share. And their stock is trading at about
46 cents a share. The managementRoss Beatty and
his associatesis top notch. The market is clearly
not perceiving the value of this company's assetseven
though they have considerable cash. And the
political risk is pretty smalltheir biggest deposit
is on Vancouver Island in mining-favorable Canada.

The FutureIn the future, everything will be different. If you
read science fiction, as any fan of L. Neil Smith
does, then you have seen a lot of predictions come and
go. Nuclear energy was going to be "too cheap to
meter," and we were all going to vacation on the Moon
before now, you'll recall. If you look at some of
the science fiction written in the 1940s or 1950s you
see a world completely different from what we have
today. In those days, the year 2006 was a long time
in the future.

In my view, based on a fairly cursory look at some of
those older stories, much of what we don't see today
has been actively prevented by some government
program. NASA has obviously stood directly in the
path of nearly all progress in space tourism, for
example. Left to ourselves, in a free market, people
would do a lot more good in this world. Prices would
be less, prosperity would be greater, and business
cycles would not be exacerbated by fiat money
inflation.

Happily, there are opportunities to help move things
in the right direction. One of my friends, Bernard
von NotHaus, came up with a really bright idea in
1998. He started minting his own silver and gold
pieces and he started printing his own money. His
group, now LibertyDollar.org, was founded to protest
the Federal Reserve Act and the IRS. But, today, it
offers free market moneymoney that isn't good
because some government says so, but because every
note they print is a warehouse receipt for actual
silver or gold in a vault, carefully safeguarded and
audited. You can get some of that money and use it,
instead of Federal Reserve Notesor Feral
Reserveless Nothings.

What you may not know is that the Federal Reserve,
created in 1913 by an obviously unconstitutional act
of Congress, promises to pay you nothing. Their
documents, called Federal Reserve Notes, represent a
claim, at best, on the ability of the USA federal
government to tax the productivity of its citizens.
Yes, there is some gold in the vaults, though a group
called the Gold Anti Trust Action Committee (GATA.org)
has analyzed government reports and concludes that
there is probably thousands of tonnes less gold than
is claimed.

Gold and silver are money. The Liberty Dollar is
money, not because Bernard says it is, nor because
some government functionary says it is, but because it
is gold and silver. As Benjamin Anderson noted a long
time ago, you don't have to trust a piece of gold
because it has some government's stamp of approval if
you don't trust the government that stamped it. You
can melt it down and verify it for yourself. And,
today, with Bernard's help, you can get gold and
silver that is minted privately, not by any
government.

Similarly, e-gold, GoldMoney, Pecunix, and 1MDC are
currencies based on 400 ounce bars of gold stored in
places like London, Zurich, and Dubai. They offer
gold itself, circulated electronically. Both e-gold
and GoldMoney have silver, as well. Not only are they
offering you a way to own gold and silver, but also
you can buy and sell things with their currencies
online. GoldMoney, for a practical example, is
accepted at GoldBarter.com the auction site, at
WontonGold.com the domain registrar, and at
LaissezFaireBooks.com the bookstore. You'll find
e-gold is accepted at an even wider number of outlets.

I firmly believe that online money in the 21st Century
is, and is going to be, gold and silver. Gold and
silver are always acceptablefor the reasons
Aristotle mentions. Acceptability is what makes the
critical difference.

In the meantime, fiat currencies are going to inflate.
My friend Clyde Harrison says, "Fiat currencies don't
float. They just sink at different rates."

The war in Iraq and the saber rattling about Iran
won't save the dollar. Instead, the federal budget
deficit, the federal debt, and the unfunded federal
programs show ever widening gaps. The trade deficit
is growing. Syria and Iran are now seeking European
Union euros for their oil rather than dollars.
Dollars which have already been printed or created by
computer keystrokes are going to come rushing back to
the USA when they are no longer needed to buy oil on
world markets.

(And if you have some thought to shift to the Canadian
dollar as a safe haven, keep in mind that Canada
already sold all its central bank gold. The Canada
dollar is backed by the USA dollar. Talk about empty
promises.)

A Stairway to the StarsIt has been my personal goal, since 1989, to make
humanity a multi-planetary species for fun and profit.
Sincerely, that's what I want to do.

You may have heard that in 1990, some of my friends
and I bought a contract with the Soviet Union to put
an American on Mir. We announced a sweepstakes in
December 1990 to give the trip away as a prize. As a
result, two of us were arrested on false charges of
felony gambling promotion of a lottery. My dreams of
changing the way people think about space were
crushed, and I was tremendously disillusioned.
Happily, I was able to "beat the rap," although I did
not "beat the ride."

Since then, wealthier people than me, such as Sir
Richard Branson, have come up with other ways to make
space tourism a reality. Branson's company, Virgin
Galactic, recently gave away a trip into space with a
sweepstakes co-sponsored by Volvo. A company in South
Africa recently did the same. For my own part, I am
very glad that these ideas are being made into a
reality, even though I am disappointed that the USA
government saw fit to prevent me from doing so 16
years ago.

But, I did a lot of thinking in that time, and I came
to some conclusions. It seems to me that an economy
based on paper promisesmostly promises to beat up
peasants and take the fruit of their laborcannot
prosper for very long. I've studied the history of
fiat money inflation, and some of the very desperate
conditions caused by previous episodes of inflationfrom
Ghenghis Khan to the South Sea Bubble to the
National Assembly to the Continental Congress to the
Confederate States to the Republic of China to the
Yugoslav dinarinflation has led to economic
distress which has led to war and revolution.
Hundreds of millions of people have died as a result,
and billions of people have suffered.

What's more, we cannot build a lasting structure on a
foundation of shifting sand. Politics is about
expedience, and expedience is shifting sand. The
politicians blow with the wind. To build for a
prosperous future, we have to build on a solid
foundation. I believe free market money represents a
key ingredient, a major cornerstone of a stairway to
the planets and the stars.

It is one important element, but it is not the only
one. To get out into space, we also have to have free
countries. Without free countriespopulated by free
people who are able to engage in trade and commerce in
free marketswe won't be able to do the things we
want.

Even rich guys like Sir Richard have found out that
their money is not enough. Branson paid Burt Rutan's
Scaled Composites a hefty fee to design a space
tourism vehicle. Guess what? The USA federal
government said Branson couldn't see the designs he
paid for because he's a foreign national and the
designs are for a "controlled munitions device" or
rocket. Under the International Trafficking in Arms
Regulations (ITARs) the government may restrict people
who make free market rocket systems from showing those
designs to foreign nationals. Now, of course, Virgin
Galactic has worked around that problem, somehow. But
it illustrates, I think, the extent to which the
government is standing in the way of the future that
you and I want to live in.

Ultimately, that means that to be free, you and I have
to get away from the USA government. We have to work
around it, circumvent it, avoid it, leave it behind,
or, if things become desperate enough, fight against
it.

Well, that makes me sad. I'm saddened by this
perplexing situation because I know that the united
States of America was founded by liberty loving
individualists who adored free marketsJohn Hancock
and many of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence made their fortunes by smuggling goods
into the country. I know that the USA was founded
after a long struggle, which started near the end of a
sixty-year depression which started when the South Sea
Bubblebuilt on the slave trade and fiat money
inflationcollapsed in 1720. I'm sad because we've
been through all this inflation-related nonsense
before.

I'm sad, most of all, because the greedy, vindictive
scum who run the banking cartel, and, thereby, run the
major governments of the world, have foisted fiat
money inflation on the rest of us over and over again.
Jefferson wrote about it. Madison wrote about it.
Andrew Jackson did something about it when he vetoed
the Second Bank of the United States. Economists like
von Mises and Hayek and Bastiat have written about it.
People have suffered from fiat money for hundreds of
years, and the banker scum have gotten away with a lot
of our wealth because of it. As a result, they have
wrecked economies, destroyed countries, started wars,
and caused death and suffering on an epic scale. The
waste of potential opportunities to thrive and prosper
and reach the other side of the galaxy sooner is just
tremendously sad.

But, don't cry. We can still triumph. We can get
there, from here.

The longest journey begins with a single step. You
can take one step to increase your prosperity,
preserve your wealth, avoid the hidden tax of
inflation, move your wealth offshore, limit your
taxes, and confound the enemies of freedom. That one
step is to convert your fiat dollars into some sort of
free market moneygo from green to gold. You can
take that step today. You can move your money out of
filthy, disgusting fiat dollars and into gold and
silver.

To help you do it, I've worked with friends,
financiers, and free marketeers to build Vertoro.com.
To help you understand why you should do it, I've
written essays in this magazine and in The
Indomitus Report. But, I cannot make you take
